In his opening talk, Richard Ford, CTO of Integrity360, sets the scene on 'exposure' in cyber security, delving into why it has grown in importance over the past year and why it will continue to be in 2024 and beyond. He addresses the growing 'problem' of digital vulnerabilities, highlighting recent challenges, especially in AI, and how they shape the current cybersecurity landscape.

The amount of newly discovered vulnerabilities increases exponentially each year, and most organisations struggle to keep on top of them, never mind addressing the wider exposures present across the increasing attack surface of cloud, remote and hybrid working, identities, new AI threats, and beyond. Clearly a better approach is needed.

In his talk “Don’t Expose yourself – A Modern Approach”, Brian Martin describes the challenges inherent in this whole cybersecurity category, and presents modern approaches to addressing vulnerabilities and exposures, understanding the attack surface and attack paths to help prioritise remediation, and how to ensure exposures are monitored and addressed as part of a continuous process. You will take away an improved understanding of how to think about this critical risk area and the steps to take to mobilise your organisation against it.

Over a year has passed since the launch of ChatGPT, and AI is no longer the ""new kid on the block"". Many organizations have recognised the pivotal role AI will play in their business transformations, actively strategizing for its implementation in 2024.

However, amidst this enthusiasm, a recent World Economic Forum study of Executive Leaders found that 56% believe that AI is providing an overall cyber advantage to attackers rather than defenders. Do we fully comprehend the data privacy implications? Are critical workloads shielded from exposure to third-party AI machine learning? Are you ready to defend against AI generated phishing attacks, multi-vector AI DDoS attacks and AI-delivered ransomware?

Key Takeaways:

• How attackers are utilising AI capabilities to stack the cyberdeck in their favour. 
• Best practices for safe AI deployment and unleashing the power of an AI offensive strategy.

The challenge in leveraging the benefits offered by Cloud without lowering your organisation’s security Posture is a complex one.  In this panel discussion we will look at the key aspects of cloud security, where industry experts will delve into essential topics such as effective cloud risk management strategies, secure workload migration techniques, and the complexities of cloud-native architecture challenges. How does an organisation manage these challenges while dealing with the constant need to minimise human error. The session will also cover the nuances of SaaS security in the cloud, the role of third parties and the consolidation of security practices using multiple tools in CNAPP environments.

Security Operations is more than just monitoring events and alarms.  Early threat detection and response, across the organisation’s attack surface and beyond, is a critical part of Security Operations and relies on several different technologies beyond the SOC.  The Security Operations platform must be designed to work together for optimal operation and avoid introducing complexity into an already perplexing environment. This session will look at the roles of the technology stacks within a Security Operations platform.

Join Integrity360's Head of Incident Response, Patrick Wragg, and CTO, Richard Ford, as they delve into the evolving world of ransomware. They'll present vital statistics, discuss how tactics are changing, and introduce proactive defence strategies designed to protect businesses. This talk is essential for understanding and mitigating the risk of ransomware attacks in 2024 and beyond.
